today is weird for me. it feels in my body like the Day of Mourning. it feels somber and centered. grieving is simmering. at the same time, everyone around me in all areas of my life are very celebratory and that gratitude energy is lovely.

@sceneonradio.bsky.social I'm trying to re-listen (again) to Seeing White and can't get the first episodes to play (on Apple Podcasts and on the website). help?

dear cat, of what do my hand and arm skins taste that you must lick them so?

there should be a total mystery advent calendar. some days it is a little treat. one day? $37 in ones. day 15? dryer lint. day 30? a coupon for a full size sunny d.

Offer up your time, talents, energy, and resources for God’s guidance in their use. You may find yourself called to work for which you feel you have no gift. With prayer and discernment you will understand how to respond to the call. — #13h-and-practice/advices-and-queries" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">New England Yearly Meeting #13

Craving a bit of a sweet treat so u make yourself a nice cup of hot raspberry lemon tea with EXTRA honey is, to be extremely fucking serious for once in my life, punk rock

@barbarabirch.bsky.social thank you for reposting that!

someone I mentor in recovery is coming over in a few minutes. I suppose I should put on a shirt? (our apartment gets very very hot in the winter. a strange complaint to have!)

I made a video about my Dad's theological life (linked here) to open the round table discussion about the legacy of his work at the American Academy of Religion's annual meeting this year. What an absolute joy to get to do this while also celebrating his 90th birthday! #aarsbl25

The events at @aarweb.bsky.social's annual meeting have been outstanding. I was honored —beyond words— to attend a round table discussion on my life's work. This 4.5 minute video was shared there, created by my daughter, @serenebabe.bsky.social: youtu.be/9NeWpB28aCM #AARSBL25 #AARSBL

Want to support baristas on strike?

✅ DON'T BUY STARBUCKS products anywhere (and tell everyone you know to do the same!)
✅ Sign our No Contract No Coffee pledge, & find a picket line near you: nocontractnocoffee.org
✅ Donate to our strike fund: sbworkersunited.org

Baristas aren’t asking for anything unreasonable. We simply want higher take-home pay, better hours, stronger protections, and an end to union busting.

It’s been months since Starbucks has offered us a serious contract proposal. Until they do, we’ll continue to escalate!

BREAKING: 30 more Starbucks locations are joining the strike.

Starbucks workers in 25 cities are jumping into the week-long strike.

Now @sbworkersunited.org members at 95 stores in 65 cities have walked off the job.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib as part of her Economic Dignity for All agenda has introduced a new version of her BOOST Act which is now a Universal Basic Income of $250/mo paired with a new 2.5% tax on incomes over $30k to function as a phaseout. That means everyone under $150k would see a net boost in income.

someone just asked me to repost this as I just dropped off my old & insufficient Mazda 3 at the shop for repairs. If someone in NE has a dog-friendly, winter-ready car they aren’t using that I could use including for rapid response (& potentially live in) that would be incredibly helpful.

Here's a pullet cleanser for your timeline.

I wonder if Mamdani will work Trump the way I'm sure he can be worked (oh you are the smartest most powerful brilliant strong man) to get what he needs from their conversation.

jeffy epstein and g-lane maxwell were at all 7 of my weddings. not a big deal!
